A song from the Father

Here is a song that God gave me during one of my prayer times.  I don't have the ability to write the music to it, but He gave it to me in song form.

I'm a sinner and beggar
Yet your love still surrounds me
Singing love songs of mercy
Over me.
Your strength makes me stronger
To carry me through
Each night.

For your love knows no bounds
And in you I rejoice
I am free
I am free
No power against me
Can ever stand
I'm yours
I'm yours

Your hand once held mine
And you never let go
You're here.
In the wind and the cold
Or the heat of the desert
I'm safe.

The joy that you put in my soul makes me dance
As I laugh and I sing in this sweetest romance
I am loved
I am loved.

2023: Newness & Renewal

Image
  2023 was truly a beautiful year.  God had told me to be available this year, and He definitely did bring a lot of opportunities, along with new growth, new friends, new places...there was a breath of fresh air and peace this year, and such a reminder of God's goodness. Shall we jump into 2023? St. Mary Lake, Glacier National Park Adventures In January my brother and I explored Concrete City in Nanticoke, PA - in the cold and amongst snow flurries. Though each concrete home was built the same, the varying degrees of damage and graffiti made each building a unique exploration. In May we walked through the Chambersburg Mall, right before it was officially closed, and at that point it was all but abandoned though the music still played through the otherwise silent hallways.  Inside a house in Concrete City Not all the houses stand straight anymore An empty mall In the heat of July (90 degrees, to be exact) my mom and I spent the day in DC, walking at least 8.6 miles and hav...

One Cup of Water

Image
We ducked our heads and hurried along the village road, red-dirt water running in rivulets as the raindrops fell. I had my sweatshirt on so the hood could keep my head dry, even if it was technically too warm and humid for it. So far not one family had invited us inside their home as our small group walked around the village handing out goody-bags to the children and inviting everyone to our outreach planned for that evening. Then the rain had started and gotten heavier; there also weren't as many houses along this particular road. Suddenly, a house, with a young mother inviting us in. We left our shoes outside on the tiny porch and entered the small home. To the American eye, the possessions seemed a strange array haphazardly organized, but the Thai woman's smile was genuine and her manner sweet. We all sat together on the floor, and before she joined us she turned on a fan and faced it towards us to make a small breeze in the still, humid air. Too shy to say more tha...

Why is it, O Lord?

Why is it, O Lord, That I see these things That should not exist? The pain, the depression, The anguish and fear, A different dimension From the beauty and glory You exude through love. How can it be, O Lord, That these people Cannot see you as I do, Cannot feel your love That you are lavishing on them? Why O Lord, do not all Hear your cry, your beckoning, To draw them closer to you Even though they are desperate, Desperate for love, life, A second chance that they feel Doesn’t even exist for them. Why is it, O Lord, That so many do not even know The difference that you can make In their lives, the forgiveness you offer, The miracles you perform, The grace and second chances You give? O Father I pray For the opportunities For the courage For the love that you love with So I can show them and tell them That there is hope no matter what That there is life and someone Who will love them Relentlessly and uncondi...
